Everyone was shocked at the discovery that Gu Qingqing and Lin Zhouyi were acquainted.

“You, what is your name?”

Liu Zhouyi had a soothing and gentle voice. The combination of a steady tone and warm looks made him the perfect man of the year.

“… Gu Qingqing.”

Getting the sensation that everyone was now looking at her, she instantly lowered her head.

“Qingqing, you know Director Lin?” asked Zhang Yuxi.

“I met him once some time ago. He did me a great favor the last time as well,” explained Gu Qingqing.

Thankfully, Lin Zhouyi said nothing else after that.

“As you all can see, I, Lin Zhouyi, will lead this company from today. It is my pleasure to be granted an opportunity to work with all of you,” Lin Zhouyi said with a smile.

“Greetings, Director Lin!”

Everyone bowed down their heads at the same time.

The female employees of the company stared at him with fangirly stars in their eyes.

“I’m still not that familiar with everyone here since I have just taken over the company. I hope we can all work hard for the benefit of our company.”

After the short statement, he then turned around to look at Gu Qingqing. He smiled warmly.

“Miss Gu did a wonderful job just now. I hope that everyone will stick to the rules and principles when it comes to working. If a similar incident were to happen again, god forbid, do not be shaken by rude behavior. We can always fall back on the rules to make things right.”

Immediately, everyone turned their attention to Gu Qingqing again.

“Director Lin flatters me. I think there was something I did wrong as well. It’s common practice to offend nobody at the workplace, and here, I just stood against Chen Wenjie. I’m afraid I may bring the company more trouble,” said a modest Gu Qingqing.

Truthfully, she had no fear of Chen Wenjie. After all, she was the legal wife of Leng Sicheng. However, she could not say the same about the company, where Chen Wenjie might even convince Leng Sicheng to bring this company down.

Impressed by Gu Qingqing’s humility, Lin Zhouyi smiled and said, “Ms. Gu’s humility is a worthy trait that everyone should learn.”

After that, Lin Zhouyi finally stopped dragging her into the conversation. Under the watchful eye of the company’s previous leader, he proceeded to check out some business data and information about his team of employees.

Once he was gone, everyone started to gather around Gu Qingqing.

“Qingqing, what’s your current relationship with Director Lin?” asked Zhang Yuxi with wide eyes.

“We only crossed paths with each other once. That’s it. It was last Friday when I dropped my phone after bumping into him. He simply picked it up and returned it to me.”

“Bumped into him? He returned it to you? Oh my god!”

Evidently, Zhang Yuxi had cut out all the other unnecessary words and summarized the important phrases only.

“We do not share any special relationships. Stop making assumptions. Besides, do you really think a man like him will get involved with someone like me?”

“Hmm. True.”

Everyone nodded their heads together, concluding that it was too good to be true.

…

In the director’s office.

Lin Zhouyi swirled around in the plush office chair, scrutinizing Gu Qingqing’s profile. He picked up his cellphone and emotionlessly spoke in an ice-cold manner, “Are you done looking for the information I want? Her name is Gu Qingqing.”
